Chelsea Football Club finds itself under investigation by the Premier League over potential financial rule breaches that may have occurred during Roman Abramovich’s ownership of the club. The probe comes in the wake of a takeover last summer by a US-led consortium that now owns Chelsea.
The consortium, which includes Clearlake Capital, a Californian investment firm, and is spearheaded by Todd Boehly, part-owner of the LA Dodgers, took the unusual step of reporting their own club to both UEFA and the Premier League after acquiring ownership.
